What’s SCA? I like kilts (didn’t consider them a uniform) and I like Navy dress blues–on an officer. No offense, but I am too old to be seducing newly enlisted guys! I also kinda like Georgian England style dress for men…hmmm, maybe a trip back to Williamsburg is in order…heh. ---

New enlisted or new Officer, either way I have better things to do than train 'em. That’s why I like the “blood stripe” on Marine dress. It promises a certain minimum level of experience and competence. There is no rational explanation for why I think the gloves are so incredibly yummy. ---

[QUOTE=AnaamikaBut those look like fatigues to me. I think BDU’s means Battle Dress Uniform. Please, anyone correct me if I’m wrong[/QUOTE] Yes, that’s what BDU means. And those _are_ pictures of BDUs in your links. “Fatigues” is just an outdated term for the Class C (utility or field uniform) that soldiers wear. No one uses the term ‘fatigues’ anymore. And, actually, the Army is phasing out BDUs for ACUs - Advanced Combay Uniform. The ACU replaces the BDU and the DCU (desert combat uniform). Here’s some pictures of a soldier in just BDUs > **[ImageShack - Deleted photo](https://imageshack.com/i/emuws14btj)** > > Store and share all of your images @ IMAGESHACK.com Here’s one wearing full armor.

1. Cops 2. Cops 3. Cop—I mean, the UPS guy. I married the UPS guy (he’s a personal trainer now). I’ve never dated a cop, but find the uniform, and all the darkly, starkly, symbolic accessories quite devastating. 1. Business uniform (sharp suit, nice shirt and tie, good shoes). 2. I’m certainly open to a handsome laddie or three in a fair kilt. 3. Military dress uniforms, very nice. 4. RCMP dress uniforms. Can’t forget those… So, the answer is _yes._ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ladies-do-you-find-men-in-uniform-sexy-a-poll/334543.md?page=3)
